Article 1

I am currently reading Jo Beverley's An Arranged Marriage and am loving it but OMG do I want to stab hero's brother's in the face! He rapes the heroine without realizing it (she is drugged and presented as willing and he is too dimwitted and useless to realize that) and then decides to solve the issue by telling her it's his twin brother (i.e., the hero) who did it!!!! And tells her he can force his useless black-sheep (not a spoiler - he is neither, hero's brother has massive jealousy/adequacy issues) brother to marry her. And then tells hero to marry her or else he cuts off his income. And while hero has enough money and brains to not care about the threat, he does care about the poor woman being ruined and about his idiot brother (because for some Godforsaken reason he cares for that waste of space) and says fine. Did I mention that hero's brother neglects to tell the hero that he's told the heroine that it was hero who raped her and not himself?

Oh God, I want the brother deeeeeeeeeeead. He is seriously unbelievable. It is impressive that hero has managed to refrain from fratricide.
